Connecting to the secure wireless network from an Android device

If your device has access to the Internet with mobile data, download the eduroam CAT installer for the version of Android which your device uses.

Manual configuration:

If you don't already have access to the Internet, configure the settings manually as follows.

Find the Settings menu

Ensure Wi-Fi is turned on, and select it to edit Wi-Fi settings

Click on Add network

Enter the settings in the appropriate places:

Network SSID: eduroam

Phase 2 authentication: PAP

CA certificate: (unspecified)

User certificate: (unspecified)

Identity: g00a1234@wf.ru.ac.za

Click on the Save button

Your Android device should now automatically connect to the wireless network whenever it is in range.

Note that if you're a staff member, you should use your staff username in the Identity section above (e.g. s0001234@wf.ru.ac.za or expl000@wf.ru.ac.za). Leave the anonymous identity as above - it is very important.
